We cannot keep going on like this with secret schemes on fast track timescales, cooked up by faceless individuals and of dubious benefit to the game. We must identify those responsible and hold them to account.
It is right that, in the coming days and weeks, UEFA will ...

I believe I have been fortunate to have had a spontaneous remission of my ME/CFS symptoms. It has been a few weeks since I’ve felt a change.
I take the position, based on both published evidence and on numerous reports from people with ME/CFS that I have seen over the ye...
End of another week and my apparent remission from ME continues. More gardening, more going to the shops with my family, more playing games together. The lawn and some cutting back of overgrown weeds and bushes are done. My heart rate hit 165 during this and I’ve had no issu...

Today, I launched I ♥ RSS, a directory for people who love RSS. I’ve already added the badge to my footer and submitted my site to the directory. It also shows a nice live blogroll on the homepage (powered by FeedLand). If you love RSS as much as I do, take a look and add your own website.

Strong words; Infantino’s role as president of FIFA is now untenable.
UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investo...
Creating a menu as a list in Jekyll from a collection is as easy as defining the item title and url as yaml in either the config.yml or in an object in the _data folder
navigation_header:

Again I find myself agreeing with UEFA and not FIFA
The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade – especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially.

None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA’s to sell.

Fredkin’s paradox reads “The more equally attractive two alternatives seem, the harder it can be to choose between them—no matter that, to the same degree, the choice can only matter less.” Thus, a decision-making agent might spend the most time on the least important dec...
